I think you are the best art teacher on the globe.... Blessed with the best communication skills.
Finally somebody made a video showing how to do it instead of just talking about it!!!! You are an awesome teacher. I've been looking for this type explanations as you have done in this series. Most just tell you what to use but do not go to the level of cool and warm and how you apply them on the canvas. I am a fairly new painter and really needed this video. It's like the 💡💡 went off and it is beginning to make sense. Instead of hit and miss color mixing, now I am learning the process of when and how.
Do you have any classes that goes more in-depth on mixing?
Thank you for knowing what beginners need when they don't know what to ask for.
THANK YOU!!! ❤️💛💙
Hi Pam! Thanks for your very generous comment! It really means a lot to me that you were able to learn something useful from my video! I agree that once you catch on to some of the secret techniques of painting, it's like a lightbulb going on and suddenly things seem easier and make more sense! Cheers, Michael
MarkowskyArt I only see a few videos on this. Are there more or do you have DVD's on color mixing? These have been so very helpful. Have a great day. 🎨🖌
Hi again Pam! I teach art at Emily Carr University (in Vancouver, Canada) and just made these videos for fun. But a lot of people like yourself have asked me to turn these tutorials into a DVD series, which is very, very, very flattering! I'm working on something, so please stay tuned!
MarkowskyArt Since I'm from Tennessee it would have to be videos or DVD's. Ha
They are lucky to have you for a teacher. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with all of us. You are the best!!! 🎨🖌❤️💛💙
Could not agree more
Painting this as a gift for mothers day
What a great idea! I'm sure she'll love it!
@@MarkowskyArt thank you very much for posting this video!
Hmmm, I'm torn between loving the actual lesson, (which explains so much why I never picked up on by watching other videos) and your inspirational pep talk. They're both equally important. Thank you for sharing your gifts of art, teaching, and encouragements. Subscribed 👍🏼
Thanks Iris! Your positive comments help encourage me to make more videos! - Michael
Alhamdulillah thanks for billions time.i was waiting for this.
Your encouragement lifted me back on my feet! Love your visuals to your words! Wonderful humor! Thank you! :)
Thank you Ludmila for leaving another positive comment! I'll be making more videos very soon, so please subscribe and stay tuned!
As an ex teacher trainer, online trainer and professional presenter who is now retired and for the last nine months have despaired at the great number of incredibly bad art tutorial videos on UA-cam. I was pleased and impressed with this one on the basics of Van Gogh Sunflowers, excellent tuition especially the basic layering and build-up of the painting. I think I learn more about painting in this 'one' video than a good 100 I must have watched. What I also admired in this video was your message keep practicing and overcoming being too self critical, my biggest problem. Having achieve some expertise in several fields and as a teacher I know full well and have told countless students it takes time to achieve anything worth while but I AM so guilty of not applying it to my self. Your collection of falling down was spot and a really nice touch. But most of all, is that you and I have some thing in common, in 1973 in the RAF as a SAC airman while serving with 111 Lightning Squadron in Cyprus due to fuel not being used up, I got the opportunity to be taken up and like you did Mach 1, but I was not drawing , as I was trying not to be sick. Have met many people in my life and occasionally come across those who dare to dream and put their ideas into practice and your stories of painting while on the move are fantastic. You put me to shame as being so critical I never go out to paint, as I hate those people who feel they have the right to come up behind you and then give comment, compared to you what a 'wimp' I am i.e. being tied to the back of a van. You Sir , even to an old fart of 64 are a true inspiration and a very good teacher - I certainly will subscribe to your channel. Thanks !
Hi Dave! Thanks for the compliments and for taking the time to write such a detailed and personal comment!!! I'm truly flattered and honoured by your words! Your encouragement motivates me to make more videos like this, so thank you for sharing your experiences with me! It's important for all of us to help each other out, because as you know, there are forces both outside and inside us that compel us to give up on our artworks and dreams!
What to go sensi. The student has become the teacher! LOL hahahaa all kidding aside, you have a gift of teaching. Please do so. Our kids need that! Thank you for respecting different ways people learn. You are great 😊
Thank you Heather for such a generous comment! I really enjoy helping other artists along their creative journeys!
Thank you. ..I don't find you any more . You make learning so interesting..
Thank you Markowsky! Appreciate your inspiring and straight to the point videos!
Just found your Videos and you are a fantastic instructor. Terrific, detailed, clearly spoken and easy to follow. Can't wait to find more.
Thank you George! I really appreciate your positive feedback!
Michael, as someone trying to figure this all out, I’m sure glad I found you. You are an awesome instructor and I’m learning so much from you. I’m asking a wonderful site, Craftsy, for you to come on board. Please pursue as this would help so many people trying art out. You truly have a gift.
Thank you Maryann Kavanagh! I really appreciate the support and the referral to Crafty! I'm very humbled and touched by your kind words! I'm currently developping a new series of tutorial videos for 2018! Stay tuned!
You are awesome!!!!!!! 🍾🎉 brilliant explanation thank you 🙏🏻
You are quick and to the point.. excellent teacher.
you are really a good teacher and communicator.
Thank you so much for your kind comment! I'm honoured to receive this generous gift from you! Have a wonderful day!
I’m going to paint this for a friends bday and I’ll put Kimberly instead of Vincent as kinda a callback to that one doctor who episode that she loves :)
Thanks for this!!
You are a great teacher . I find understand more about painting . Thank you so much 🇧🇷😘
Excellent teaching style and lesson content! Nice editing, too! Well done.
I love the tutorial, much better than a certain step by step book that I have where the colours used are extremely garish. You explain everything so well. Can you please do a tutorial on Vincent's chair.
Thank you for your tutorial! I am the project coordinator for our schools auction where student art is featured. I have to plan and gather supplies for 10 classroom projects. So thank you for listing colors you used in comments, as its just a little bit I dont have to over think about.
Hi Michelle! Thanks for leaving a comment and I'm happy that this information was helpful to you! I hope you were able to find all the paint you needed for your projects!
I love it...🌻💛
Thank you Marco! Have a wonderful weekend!
New videos coming in May 2019! What aspects of painting and drawing do you find most challenging? I’m currently writing and planning a whole new series of instructional videos, and I’m looking for YOUR ideas! SUBSCRIBE, turn your notifications on, and stay tuned!
- Michael
I love your videos😂
heyyyy, wait what.... I recentley searched for a course about how to draw from beginner to advance and i found your free course which I am currently watching about one video a day, and in those videos you have moustache, And now I was seeing you without moustachee, I was just shocked that is that really you.i am sorry but made me in doubt ... never mind am being crazy , haha😅
Great video from beginning to end. I love the video clips, very funny! Thanks for the tutorial and words of encouragement. You definitely are an inspiration for other people. Your students are very lucky to have you as a teacher! I would love to see a video about the classical style or indirect painting. Also would like to ask you when is best to use the grisaille and when not? I also love the Munsell color guide, what are your thoughts about it? On behalf of all the people who watch your videos, I take this opportunity to thank you so much for all your time and effort in making the videos available to all of us. I personally feel that with each video I watch I am beginning something new and no matter how many years I have been painting, it feels I’m always beginning! Which is a great feeling knowing that someone like you care about how we continue to learn and keep going. Also your patience is very much appreciated! I’m just amazed so much useful information given to us in each video! Lovely, lovely, lovely! ♥️ from Illinois, US
Subbed! Would try to paint my own sunflower thaaaank you for this vid loved it! 🌻🌻🌻
Thank you Lyra! Best of luck on your sunflower painting!
I love the falling 🤣 I’m learning. Just a year in and I can see that I’m learning. And falling 🤣
I love to hear this! If you can learn to appreciate your failures and see them as a neccessary part of the creative process, it enriches your experience of making art! Keep falling! 🤣
What is the instrument you use for drawing Van Gogh's Sunflowers? Great lessons for a brand new painter at 75 I just love the teaching quality
Thanks for this tutorial but i have one question: why did you choose the warm red and cool blue and white to make the tone and not another combination of red and blue and white, like warm red and warm blue for example?
Good question! I chose Warm Red and Cool Blue because they are nearly opposite from one another on the colour wheel, and when mixed together they create a dull dark-brown colour. This is the darkest colour that can be mixed using only two basic hues. In other words, that mixture is the closest you can get to black using only two opposite colours (also known as "complementary" colours.
The reason I wanted such a dark mixture is that I wanted to make a "tone" which is a combination of black and white. The two other ways to modify a colour are by adding white (known as a "tint" or "tinting") or by adding only black (known as a "shade" or "shading").
Mixing the "tone" with Warm Red and Cool Blue allowed me the option of making a "warm tone" by mixing it with the Warm Yellow in the foreground, and a second "cool tone" by mixing it with the Cool Yellow in the background.
I know all of this sounds complicated, and there is only so much colour theory you can fit into a short 6-minute video! I encourage you to watch some of the previous videos in the series (below), and also to try mixing the colours yourself to see them in action!

4) Mixing the RIGHT Colours: ua-cam.com/video/j2fOsrUhSXs/v-deo.html
I tried this painting but when I got to adding the second color tot he medium yellow, your screen showed mixing medium red, light blue and white but that made purple, I couldn't get it to the taupe looking color you created so I was lost once I mixed a few other colors to try to get the color. Do you use water on your brush or straight paint?
Hi Patricia! I’m not sure what happened! Maybe you added too much blue? Remember to use very very small amounts of colour when mixing, adding as needed. Also, I rarely ever use white unless I’m cleaning my brushes or doing a "wash" at the very beginning. Consider watching my free UA-cam livestream classes where you can paint along with me and ask questions as we go!
First of all; Thank you for these classes. Not to dispute your color theory but I've always viewed "Yellow" as the brightest in the color wheel. And thus I try to interpret it as the most advancing and thus warmest in the color wheel. Please help me with this if you can. I hope I'm not just blinded by the light of the color, Yellow. Pun intended. LOL
NEW SUBSCRIBER HERE!!
What kind of paint are tou using please? Is it oil?
Hi +iluvmusic! I just saw your comment now. I guess my notification settings were off. Anyway, I was using cheap acrylic paint, because I try to teach basic painting with the most affordable paint a student can buy, to keep the bariers to learning as low as possible.
Good stuff. Please provide a list of the colors/pigments you used.
Sorry, I just saw your comment now! My notifications settings must have been off!!! The colours I used are:
Cerulean Blue - Cool
Ultramarine Blue - Warm
Quinacridone Magenta - Cool
Cadmium Red Medium Hue - Warm
Cadmium Yellow Light Hue - Cool
Cadmium Yellow Medium Hue - Warm
I just found your page....please do more videos!!!
Dear Michael, may I use all your lessons to work with oil?
Yes, it will be very similar. Obviously, oil paint is very different and you will have to be careful to avoid mixing wet paint that has already been applied to the canvas with wet paint on your brush, as oil paint can take days or even months to dry. But the colours will mix in a very similar way. Have fun painting!
Seems to me in the 3rd video you didn't use blue and red for time it was black and white. The ye)ow on sunflower you said it was add white to the cool color but it looked like you fluid it to both. I dont know how the vase looks another color. Thanks
This is an awesome video and it was just what I was looking for in an instructional. I even love your commentary at the end... I just wish you didn't cuss because now I can't use it with my kids. :(
Hi. I learnt a lot very quickly from your 5 tutorials on colour theory but actually now a few months on it isn’t always the case that warm colours come forward and cool colours recede, if you r painting a landscape photograph. Actually I might be mistaking dark/light with warm/cool.
I wish I could send an attachment but for example I have this waterfall shot and all the background (the hills, the trees are dark) and all the foreground (the river water the shrubbery is light.im so confused as I like to follow the rules 😂
Donna Louise Ackers: Yes, it can be confusing. For instance, you could have a car painted “warm” red that is in the background of a photo or painting. What happens is that the atmosphere between our eyes and the car will cause the “warm” colour to appear to become dull and significantly “colder”. By “dull” I mean that it has been “tinted” with white and possibly even with a touch of blue or colder red paint.
I was really looking forward to watching this video but for some reason it won’t play .
Hi Beverly! I just tried to play it myself and I'm also having problems getting it to work. I've asked UA-cam to look into the issue. Thanks for bringing it to my attention!
- Michael
Hi again Beverly. This video should be playing now, at least it's working for me again, after not working for a few weeks. Not sure what the problem is. Please let me know if it works for you! Thank you, Michael
Anyone else have problem viewing Lesson #4 Sunflowers ? Won't play for me ... :(
Hi Debora! This video should be playing now, at least it's working for me. But you're right: for a few weeks it wasn't playing. Not sure what the problem was. Please let me know if it works for you or if it's still not playing! Thank you, Michael
I Love the failing Part , will try to do some shitty paintings asap
Fine video on van Gogh sunflowers - and quite funny and empowering ending. The only thing that is annoying is your very stressfyldt intro' s -
Thanks for watching and commenting on my video!
You look so young....just a kid LOL
Anything worth doing is worth doing poorly.
When completed, smash the entire contents of a can of Heinz tomato soup right into the centre
Hahaha! Great idea!
